Huskers, Wildcats Drop Irish From '49 Schedule
Chicago, Dec. 7—(UP)—Notre Dame has no problem with its football schedule for 1948, but Ed "Moose" Krause of the Irish athletic staff will be at the Big Nine's annual winter meeting this weekend seeking opponents for 1950 or any year after that.
There's been a lot of talk about Notre Dame's troubles in obtaining a full grid schedule, but while the shoe is growing tighter, there are no hurdles to fall.
"We'll be satisfied with nine games," he said. "If we have to, we can play 10 games."
Notre Dame is negotiating, too, with Southern Methodist for a three-year contract. However, the date on which they would play the first game is indefinite. According to reports from Texas, Southern Methodist expects to open the series in 1949, but that would give Notre Dame a 10 game schedule.
The Irish played a 10 game schedule this season and every team they faced except Northwestern and Nebraska will be back on the 1949 slate. In addition Tulane, which began a four year contract with Notre Dame in 1947, will come back for its second game next fall.
That gives athletic director and football coach Frank Leahy nine games for sure in 1949, and he has no great desire for more contests.
Krause, who is head basketball coach now and may become athletic director at Notre Dame next month, would like to open more friendly relations with Big Nine teams. With this objective, he attends major conference meetings, particularly those at which football schedules are prepared.
The Irish would like to open the series in 1950 when they may have trouble filling their schedule.
This weekend the conference must prepare its grid programs for 1950, 1951 and 1952, and Notre Dame would like to move in on Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio State or some of the rest.
Three Big Nine teams, Purdue, Indiana and Iowa, already are on the Irish grid program. But Indiana and Iowa usually are second division ball clubs and Notre Dame would like to take on some of the powerhouses.
Notre Dame has played every team in the Big Nine in football at one time or another, and the conference teams have not fared too well. Some sources claim that the Big Nine doesn't like the beatings Notre Dame dishes out.

Oosterbaan Is Coach Of Year
New York, Dec. 7—(UP)—Bennie Oosterbaan, who guided Michigan's football team through its second straight undefeated season in his first camp as head coach, today was named Coach of the Year in the annual poll of the New York World - Telegraph and associated Scripps-Howard newspapers.
Coach Bob Voigts of Northwestern, the Big Nine entry in the Rose bowl, was third with 22 first place ballots, and Frank Howard, coach of Clemson's unbeaten Southern conference champions, was fourth with 15.
The easy-going Oosterbaan, an Air America end at Michigan in 1925, 1926 and 1927, received 61 first place votes, 28 for second place and 24 for third to win by a comfortable margin over Lymn (Pappy) Waldorf, coach of California's undefeated Rose bowl representatives. Waldorf was the first choice of 33 coaches.
Madison (Matty) Bell, whose Southern Methodist eleven won the Southwest conference title, was fifth, and Tuss McLaughrey of Dartmouth sixth. Each had 13 first place votes but Bell received 13 second place ballots to two for McLaughrey.
